This might be of interests to some so thought I would share.
Earlier this year I read a post on tradgang where an archer suggested using weedeater line inside of carbons for better flight stability and penetration. I had been having problems with the ones I was experimenting with and could never get them to fly consistantly true with my heavier broadheads. I tried this suggestion and could not believe the difference it made.
There are weight adapters for doing this, but the weight is concentrated at the head of the arrow whereas the line distributes it evenly through the length of the shaft.
I am very pleased with the results, thus the reason I wanted to share.
BTW, I simply removed the nock and measured the line lenth by putting it in the shaft until it stopped at the broadhead. I then cut it 3/4 inch shorter to accommodate the nock insert.
